Tuxedo cat names

A tuxedo cat is a black-and-white bicolour that looks dressed for dinner, and it's a pattern rather than a breed. Felix the Cat and Sylvester are both tuxedos, which makes them the obvious picks.

The coat also invites butler names (Jeeves, Alfred), party hosts (Gatsby, Bond) and anything else in black and white: Domino, Piano, Magpie, Puffin, Orca and the slightly less elegant Holstein.
